Pitying Esau

This week's text are probably the most sorrowful that we have read up to this point in the Genesis narrative. Following Jacob's betrayal and Esau's rage, momma-Rebekah convinces daddy-Isaac to send Jacob away to find a "godly" wife. Isaac agrees and sends Jacob forth with additional blessing and praise. Meanwhile, Esau is sulking in a corner contemplating his sins and the miserable state of his relationship with his father. Esau's life is a tragedy...that we should pity.

This week it's all about Esau. Join us as we study his three fatal flaws, and learn how we can avoid mimicking these mistakes in our own life. Esau loved the limelight, only saw himself as the solution to life's problems, and always tried to earn the love of his father. (Sounds a lot like some of us, doesn't it?) Grab your bible and we'll see you Sunday @ the Midway...
